Sique returned to the dark place with a mournful expression. Ramirez stepped towards her, looking blank.
'' I can't kill them.''
Ramirez put his hand on her shoulder, Sique lowered her head, her white-tipped hair covering her face, '' You can, I know you can.''
'' Why did you choose me? What is it about me which makes you think I'm fit to kill them?'' Sique looked up, her hair tumbling behind her ears.
Ramirez shrugged, '' Things.''
The girl looked to him with interest, '' Tell me...''
Ramirez looked over her, '' Deep inside you, there is a tint of evil, far beyond petty revenge of your own pain; only willing to be unleashed if someone close to you is hurt. But the evil is clouded by kindness. You and me are alike. Before I came to this earth; I too was clouded by kindness.''
Sique shook her head, '' I'm not a silvite.''
'' No, you're just a very rare type of person. While most are driven by jealousy and shallow needs, you are driven by loyalty...Through you have yet to find a worthy cause to devote yourself to.''
Sique shrugged, not knowing what to say. How did he know so much about her? '' You don't even know my name.''
'' I know what you feel.''
Sique looked nervously at Ramirez, she didn't like the thought of someone knowing her feelings.
She sat down in the dark, her eyes looking everywhere, there was nothing, only dark and fog. Ramirez spent his afterlife in nothing. It scared her, she had always hoped that something nice happened after you died. A tear trickled down her cheek, '' What do you do here?''
He shrugged, '' I don't.''
'' You don't do anything?!''
He shook his head, Sique began to cry.
'' When...when I die...I...I'm so fearful of death...so, so...'' She was choking on tears. Her emotion swept over Ramirez, he blinked.
'' You're not going to die; shut up.'' He couldn't stand her depression. If he hadn't been able to feel her emotions, he wouldn't have cared; but he could, and he hated feeling pity.
Sique was snivelling, '' I don't want to kill anyone. I don't want them to go through this.''
Ramirez knelt down to face Sique, '' You have to...for me...''
He enclosed his hand around the silver pendant; as Sique stared up at him, a look of faint loyalty reflected in her bicolor eyes.
